Remote Access and One-Time Password Services

ActivClient generates a one-time password (OTP) on the smart card and allows users to use the generated OTPs to log on to applications requiring strong authentication via dialup, VPN or web. These OTP services require an ActivID authentication server, such as the ActivID AAA Server for Remote Access.

Log On to Applications Using an OTP

Users have several options to log on to an application using an OTP:

• Log on with an OTP in one-click – From the ‘Get One-Time Password’ option in the ActivClient Agent (in the Windows notification area), ActivClient generates an OTP and copies it to the clipboard.

• Log on manually with an OTP – From the ActivClient User Console, ActivClient can generate OTPs in both synchronous and challenge/response modes.

Users then simply paste the generated OTP into any application.
